is there a TELL method for mod_perl"s STDOUT and STDERR

I'm trying to use Smart::Comments with mod_perl. The problem is that
STDOUT and STDERR are blessed into the Apache class and they do not
have a TELL method. The Smart::Comments module has several references
to tell(STDOUT) and tell(STDERR).

Is there a way to implement a TELL method for these file handles?

I would have thought that the problem would be that it uses a source
filter. I think you're going to be out of luck getting that one to
work.

it seems to work just fine. For now I've just replaced all references
to tell(STD(ERR|OUT)) with 0. It's only used for formatting anyway.

I've just started to use it, though. Can you think of any issues with
using source filters in mod_perl?
